Hospice Recertification Flexibility Act

This bill extends telehealth flexibilities for hospice care recertifications through 2026 (instead of 2024), allowing providers to use telehealth for reconfirming patient eligibility. It includes exceptions for areas with hospice enrollment moratoriums, providers under enhanced oversight, or telehealth visits by unenrolled physicians/nurse practitioners. After 2026, providers must use specific codes or modifiers in claims to indicate telehealth visits were used for recertification. The bill directly affects hospice providers and patients receiving hospice care, ensuring continued access to telehealth for eligibility checks under Medicare.
